As well as retaining crucial discussions about cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Brasilia at particular moments in their history that exemplified the problems and themes at hand like the mega-city, the post-colonial city and New Urbanism, in this new edition the editors have introduced new case studies critical to any study of contemporary urbanism China, Dubai, Tijuana and the wider issues of informal cities in the Global South. The book serves as both a textbook for classes in urban design, planning and theory and is also attractive to the increasing interest in urbanism by scholars in other fields.

  1. Don't be fooled by a rival company selling the same book cheaper. They will never deliver and fob you off with excuses for months! I am absolutely delighted with Books etc. I should have purchased from them first time around instead of being tempted by a slightly cheaper price! Book etc are my go to eBay store of choice for hard to get titles that I am looking for. They have never disappointed me. Every delivery is packaged safely. the descriptions are 100% accurate and i get my order in days.

  2. Good seller, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ item as described, packaging average, delivery was a huge disappointment as it was thrown at my front door by an AMAZON driver. I purchased via eBay to avoid AMAZON, now they are involved leaving our eBay purchases on our doorsteps. I do have cctv of the driver throwing my package. I brought the poor delivery to the attention of the seller who advised they would contact the delivery organisation concerned about the breach in their delivery instructions.

    Relatively Uncertain

  3. I purchased this item as a novelty birthday gift. Item arrived in a cardboard envelope which I was able to recycle. Item is as expected, small book which was described as new. That is what I received. Tracking was provided and item arrived day earlier than expected. However, item was not posted as soon as payment was received, so check items for due delivery if you want an item quickly. Communication excellent. Would buy from this seller again.
